Where's the cheapest place to get one?  I see lots of conflicting reviews, "it tracks great", "it doesn't track at all", etc.  Is the glass usable at 25x?  My Burris 8-32x Signature will only get me to 800 or so yards, not near enough.  This scope will be used on a 6mm Ackley, so recoil won't really be an issue.  SFWA has the price guarantee right?  I see $439 on several sights, and have heard of $300 deals on them.

Thanks for replies

SwFA has a price guarantee.  Just realize that that works comparing apples to apples. If you find a better price somewhere call them and ask them to match it of do better hear what they say and make your decision. They have been fair with me.
 
Now for the other issue (My Burris will only get me to 800...) Have you considered putting plus MOA base on the rifle to get out further?  Not sure what rings and base you use now but one fairly inexpensive way to gain elevation is  Burris Signature Rings:

 If it's a legit dealer .... they are probably going to honor it . But you will have to verify the contact under the terms they state .

Yeah, I'm using the Signature rings.  I'm using a Burris 8-32x Signature select...20 MOA total adjustment.  Ouch.  The other day it quit tracking true, I e-mailed Burris about a replacement, but if I can get my money back I'd try the Millett.  If it tracked true, it would get me waaaaay past 1000, further than any 6mm needs to be shot!

If I had +40 in the Burris rings, I'd have around 110 MOA of up.  That'd get me to 2200 yards!
